OK so I got this new awesome 8703 running just the way I want with one exception. Yahoo IM wont run I was able to install it just fine but when I try to connect I get please goto blackberry.com/go/yahoo to register. I have reinstalled a few times sent services books etc no luck. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I had this working on my 7250 wtith no problems. One thig I did notice was that there is no Service book for the app. When i compared it to my 7250 there was one listed there.

Thanks

Thanks of the reply but the link does not offer a way to register. It simply brings you back to the dl page. Did it work for you? You were able to register?

[roofus]

Close your browser and open the application itself and try registering from that point. If not you can register from your pc.

I downloaded it and it works fine, but I was already registered.

I am using it on a 8703e running the Sprint OS on the Bell Mobility network.

OK now im really about to jump I goto blackberry.com/go/yahoo I dl the app from that link its on my bb. I open the app on my bb and again it tells me to goto that same link. What am I missing here roofus?!!

Sorry but I don't know.

When I opened the app; it loaded a sign in page. Yours should open with a page asking for your Yahoo ID and password.
If it doesn't . . . I don't know what to tell you . . ..

Anyone else?

try making a new Yahoo screen name and password and see if that helps clear the problem. I have never heard of this unless you do not have a Yahoo messenger/email screen name and password

Samething thanks for the suggestion. I just removed the app from the app loader and reinstalled from PC>IE. Rebooting now to see if that helps. I know the service book is needed for this to work and I dont have that on the BB so that has to be part of the problem.

I have a 8703e with Sprint and am having the exact same problems. How can we get the service book for this, from BB or SPrint? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Steve, I should have posted a followup to this thread on how i fixed my Yahoo IM problem.

What I did was sort of a take off of Spencer_CDS idea with Cingular.

I took my OLD 7250 and connected it to the desktop manager and backup'd my service books. Then I took the BBFS2 [YHO] service book and loaded it to my NEW 8103e. Then without even a reboot i tried to connect to Yahoo and bam it logged in. Im glad to report that all is working fine! So this can be fixed steve it took me less than 3 mins. If you need better instruction follow Spencer_CDS guide do a search for yahoo,cingular and you should fine it easy.

Im glad I was able to help. I was determined to get that to work and was happy to share the info. Although I cant take all the credit Spencer_CDS did spark the trigger for me.
